Embodiment Construction

[0014]FIG. 1 illustrates of a sensor assembly, or a transducer assembly 100 embodying the present invention. The transducer assembly 100 includes a transducer housing, a sensing head, or a transducer head 104, a body housing, an adapting body, or a transducer body 108, a removably connectable sensor communication adapter 110, and a reporting device 112. A family of transducer heads 104 can be interchangeably coupled to the transducer body 108. To accommodate the interchangeability of the head 104, the transducer head 104 will include a standard connector 118 (shown in FIG. 2) that can be coupled to any transducer body 108. Therefore, the standard connector 118 will have generally standardized dimensions and couplings.

[0015] The transducer head 104 is further detailed in a block diagram in FIG. 2. The transducer head 104 generally includes an electrode module 120 that houses at least one transducer specific electrode. Different transducer electrodes are used in the head 104 to measu...

Abstract

A sensor assembly. The sensor assembly includes a transducer, a memory element to store a plurality of transducer signatures, and a processor to identify the transducer using the transducer signatures, to process the environmental characteristic using the identified transducer signatures and the adaptive algorithm, and to output the processed environmental characteristics.

Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION [0001] The present invention relates to a measuring apparatus, and particularly, an electronic measuring device. [0002] Measuring apparatus such as transducers are generally used to measure physical and chemical phenomena. Once the phenomena has been measured, the phenomena is usually converted to a readable format for a user. In the example of transducers, different physical transducer electrodes will be used to sense different environments. More particularly, different environments may have different physical and chemical compositions, and therefore, different transducers or sensing electrodes may be required to perform a measurement. In other applications, the caustic or acidic nature of the environment necessitates frequent replacement of the transducers. In any case, replacing the transducers generally requires manual adjustment and calibration of the connecting hardware that performs the conversion and calibration. SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION [0003] Ma...
